How to Simulate a Connectome - Predicting Neural Activity from Connectivity

Explore a fascinating lecture on simulating connectomes presented by Srini Turaga from the Janelia Research Campus at IPAM's Mathematical Approaches for Connectome Analysis Workshop. Delve into the cutting-edge research on predicting neural activity and understanding neural computation using only connectivity measurements of biological neural networks. Discover how mechanistic models can generate detailed, experimentally testable predictions for individual neurons within a connectome. Learn about the agreement between model predictions and experimental measurements across multiple studies. Gain insights into strategies for developing hypotheses about neural circuit function based on connectivity data. Enhance your understanding of the relationship between neural connectivity and computation in this 52-minute presentation recorded on February 14, 2024, at the Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA.
